Manoir Hovey, North Hatley, Quebec

As Sooke Harbour House is to Vancouver Island, Manoir Hovey is to Quebec.  On the banks of Lake Massawippi, near North Hatley in Quebec’s Eastern Townships, this inn and Chef Roland Menard, have been harvesting the region and serving it forth for as long as I’ve been writing about it and, like me, he’s still ‘cooking’. His recipe that I published in 1990 for lamb tenderloin baked in phyllo pastry and served with a local honey/fresh mint sauce would be at home on any 2010 menu.  The salade ‘Estrienne’ that we published the same year is a plate full of local greens and sliced Eastern Township apples topped with cider-marinated, seared pork. His rack of pork stuffed with maple laced-apples and roasted hazelnuts and served with a Fine Sève cider sauce is one of the best recipes in book, Flavours of Canada.  FABULOUS!

Manoir Hovey is a gracious place, a Rélais et Chateaux member and a five star dining experience absolutely rooted in the here and now of Quebec cuisine.
